My wife has a dozen or so sheep. This time of year she carries water the 250 feet from house to barn. I thought a cool Christmas gift would be an electric powered tank on wheels. This morning I dug out all my junk...chains, sprockets, DC electric motors, wheels, shafts, etc. This is what I came up with. All it needs is a double pole single throw normally off switch for forward & reverse & it'll be good to go. I did test, the speed is perfect! A slow walk. The handle pivots down for steering, the switch will be on it. Of course now one neighbor is missing his old snowblower & the other no longer has a wheel chair.

Tue is trash day. That's one week of garage trash! Sometimes it'll take weeks to fill that one. I did clean the garage one day this week. One thing I try to be careful about. Nothing oily ever goes in that can.

Gotta watch out for spontaneous combustion, no oily rags in there! You need to add a few captive air tanks to that Tankbarrow to keep the pressure up at the outlet, or a pump, otherwise it will take a while to drain.

I noticed the tank says "free" on it. so you are one of those guys who pick up stuff on the side of the road?

Free is good! Yes, that came off the side of the road earlier this year. Next to "free" it says "steel". I'm sure a lot of people, myself included, took a double take thinking it might be copper.

The water plan is thus: Adding water to the tank will compress the air in the tank. That air pressure will deliver the needed water. I'm sure some water will stay in the tank. The tank has valves on the bottom of each end. Opening them after the water has been delivered will empty the tank so it doesn't freeze.
